Description

This evocative theatrical watercolour by K S Baker shows a scene, or set design, from the celebrated 1925 production of 'Lionel and Clarissa' by Charles Dibdin at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith. It starred Olive Groves as Clarissa and WIlfred Temple as Lionel. The painting was sourced from a private collection and appears to be in good condition - the pigments are still vivid and the surface has no major signs of atmospheric damage. However, as you can see from the images we are offering this charming painting in its original frame, mount, and backing, which all look undisturbed since the time of the production. I think a little more research will prove fruitful regarding the background of this interesting artwork. The measurements below are for the image size. The overall measurements of the frame are 43 cm high x 32 cm wide.

FAQs

Theatre set design art comprises original sketches, watercolours, or architectural models created by designers to map out the visual elements of a stage production.

These works typically utilise watercolour paints, gouache, ink, and pencil on heavyweight artist paper or card stock.

Authentic pieces often feature period-specific paper ageing, artist signatures, handwritten production notes in the margins, and framing indicative of the era.

Such pieces work well when framed with conservation-grade materials and hung in studies, hallways, or living spaces to add historical narrative and colour depth.

Watercolours should be displayed away from direct sunlight using UV-protective glass and kept in stable, climate-controlled environments to prevent fading and paper degradation.
